449 lb man charged with ramming multiple parked Teslas

An ATV-riding Texan was a massive problem to Tesla owners when he allegedly rammed his 4-wheeler into multiple cars during an unprovoked hit-and-run spree on Tuesday.

Demarqeyun Marquize Cox was arrested after one of his alleged attacks was recorded by the Tesla he purposely ran into, police in Texarkana, Texas announced.

The 33-year-old allegedly spotted the electric vehicle sitting in the parking lot of a Golden Palace Chinese buffet while its owner having lunch inside the restaurant.

The 5-foot-2, 449-pound driver left noticeable damage to the front driver-side door, owner Virita Carstaffin told the outlet.

Carstaffin – who was alerted to the attack by a phone notification – said she would have to shell out over $1,000 to replace the entire door.

Police were called to the area of Cox’s rampage after a second Tesla was damaged at a nearby Lowe’s, the Texarkana Police Department said.

The 4-wheel menace was stopped by cops just over a mile south of the Golden Palace as an officer recognized Cox from the Chinese buffet video.

Cox allegedly claimed to be a different person and provided a false name during his initial interrogation with police.

Officers didn’t fall for the cocky attitude and arrested the man.

“Based on what they had seen in the video they knew for a fact that he was the one who at least hit the initial Tesla,” Texarkana Police Public Information Officer Shawn Vaughn told the outlet.

He has been charged with felony criminal mischief resulting in damage between $2,500 and $30,000 and failure to identify, police announced.

A third damaged Tesla was reported after the arrest.
